Spoilers forward for The Summer time I Turned Fairly sequence and the e book We’ll At all times Have Summer time. Stream all three seasons in full with an Amazon Prime subscription.
It was a bittersweet second for followers of The Summer time I Turned Fairly this week, as Stomach’s love story got here to an finish within the sequence finale. Followers had been left begging for extra after the sequence supplied a considerably extra romantic conclusion than the books and Jenny Han supplied. Hours after “At Final” hit the 2025 TV schedule, it was introduced {that a} film was on its manner, and after studying what Han needed to say about it, I feel I do know what’s coming.
I Assume The Summer time I Turned Fairly Film Will Take From The Ebook Collection’ Epilogue
It took till the very finish of the 80-minute sequence finale, however in the end, Stomach (Lola Tung) reunited with Conrad (Christopher Briney). After the confession each Staff Conrad member was ready for, the sequence ends with them returning to Cousins collectively, presumably a 12 months or two later. Primarily based on Jenny Han’s feedback to EW a couple of “massive milestone” left in Stomach’s journey, my idea is that the film will cowl the occasions of We’ll At all times Have Summer time’s epilogue. In different phrases, I feel we’re going to a marriage! Han stated:
As I used to be fascinated with third season, I actually felt that the journey was a lot about Stomach’s coming of age and as a way to totally inform that story, we have to get to her reunion with Conrad. After which it could’ve been like a fast tacked-on beat on the finish to get to any of the stuff within the epilogue within the e book.
Jenny Han took her time getting Stomach and Conrad again collectively, and we solely acquired restricted time on the finish of the episode once they had been actually again collectively. To squeeze in what she wrote within the third e book’s epilogue would have achieved a disservice to the literal years which have been constructing to it. Han continued:
And I simply actually wished to offer its due. And we had additionally been via a complete season of Stomach and Jeremiah’s [Gavin Casalegno] wedding ceremony and I wished to have house for regardless of the subsequent step is.
I agree that that is the precise transfer, as a result of it was so vital for the book-to-screen adaptation to offer a lot house to Stomach’s journey post-Jeremiah. The finale confirmed how she actually discovered herself after shifting to Paris, the place she not outlined herself as being destined for one in every of Susannah’s boys.
What Occurs In We’ll At all times Have Summer time’s Epilogue?
Talking of Susannah Fisher, the epilogue from the third e book in Jenny Han’s YA sequence opens with the letter she wrote to Stomach earlier than she died that was to be opened on her wedding ceremony day. The letter was launched within the sequence in Season 3, however whereas we noticed what was written in Susannah’s letter to Jeremiah (yikes, I imply Conrad!), we didn’t see Stomach open her letter, which was an enormous omission. I feel we could get that in The Summer time I Turned Fairly film.
The remainder of the epilogue takes place within the moments after Stomach and Conrad say “I do,” with Jeremiah giving Stomach a small wave as she jumps right into a automotive with Conrad to get out of the rain. She blows him a kiss, and he smiles as he turns again to his date (Denise???). The newlyweds then drive to the seashore, the place they run — already moist from the rain — into the ocean, gleefully beginning their lives collectively.
Might this be the place Jenny Han takes us with the plot of the upcoming film? I feel there’s a more-than-decent probability. We’ve lastly gotten Stomach and Conrad collectively for good, so we must always get 90 minutes or so to get pleasure from that “massive milestone” with them, proper?
A marriage additionally gives a terrific excuse to get the entire gang again collectively — together with fan-favorite couple Taylor and Steven (Rain Spencer and Sean Kaufman, respectively) and, in fact, Gavin Casalegno’s Jeremiah. I used to be just a little disillusioned we didn’t get to see the Fisher brothers come again collectively ultimately, however hey, that is what the film’s for.
After all, I may very well be incorrect. Nonetheless, Han particularly mentioning the e book’s epilogue has me considering I am heading in the right direction.
We nonetheless have some time to attend earlier than we’ll see The Summer time I Turned Fairly film, as Jenny Han stated they’re nonetheless within the early phases, however I received’t thoughts taking that point to reread the books, rewatch the sequence on Prime Video, and theorize about all of the Taylor Swift songs they might use in it!
